Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

I have made Cheeseburger Soup before, but not one that tastes EXACTLY like a cheeseburger.  Most recipes just have elements of a cheeseburger, but this recipe has it all.  This bacon cheeseburger soup recipe is one I found and adapted from the wonderful Paula Deen.  There is also a fun recipe for a bread to serve along the side using hamburger buns.  I will share that recipe with you tomorrow. So be sure to come back and check that one out too.

I must say my husband and oldest son were big fans of this soup. They said to me that it really does capture the flavor and taste just like a cheeseburger.  The really unique addition to this soup is the dill pickle relish, which I always keep in my pantry.  It is perfect to mix into your tuna for a tuna sandwich.  I must say my favorite part of this bacon cheeseburger soup was the French fried onions on top. I don’t recommend skipping them. They are a must. We also enjoyed some extra pickle relish mixed in.
